Review: This book is a great work on acrylics in a small package and an easy read to boot! Great color drawings and diagrams throughout!

Some readers may be surprised at the flexibility and experimentation that can be used with acrylics. Until this book, I was not sure that most all traditional techniques for oil, casein, and watercolor can also be used with acrylics, and that with the addition of gels, modeling paste and varnishes, acrylics can even extend into works of collage and assemblage.

Includes chapters on these topics: The Colors, The Brushes, The Palette, Technical Tips, The Stippling Technique, Wet-Into-Wet Method, The Cutting Technique, The Scratch Stroke, Creating Textures, Friskets, seven Lessons, Four Sketches to Try on Your Own, Embellishments, The Finish Coat.
